Why is the Gladius capable of going 800 and 900 in atmo when all of the other ships are capped at below 300?

So that's something we've been able to change with the new aerodynamics. So the ships are much more balanced now in terms of the speed that they can go in atmosphere. So we're hitting that 500 meters per second kind of range in atmosphere for a lot of the small fighters. And also we've gone abroad as well. We've gone and increased a lot of the larger ships because a lot of the larger ships actually went very slow in atmosphere before because of the model we had, whereas now we've got much more freedom to make each ship more unique. So we've generally sped up the ships in atmosphere, but it is fair to say the Gladius was too quick before compared to the other ships, but that's been resolved for now. So it's much more fair.
